See picture. Why??? I get this problem about 50% of the time when I load saves. I have to quit Civ 5 BNW, and reload everything, and hope for the best. Also, sometimes the textures are really messed up on leaders scenes (though turning the quality down seems to help with that). Is this a...

Based on what I remember hearing from interviews... Religions do have a holy city. If you capture it, you do not get the founder beliefs. However, if the original civilization takes it back, they regain the founder beliefs. I would also speculate that holy cities are automatically put in civ...

You are thinking of someone else I think. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Theresa

I hope the expansion allows you to immediately skip the intro movie, and just have a normal loading screen instead. I know you can change it in the .ini or whatever, but it is just so dumb to have to watch the first 15-30 seconds of the video every time.

Maybe as Great Prophets are born (or religions founded), the number of faith points needed to spawn (or make likely to spawn) great prophets increases. For example, two civs have 300 faith, giving each of them a 75% chance of spawning a prophet. A prophet spawns for Civ 1, decreasing the...

edit: beat by a few other people, lol Patch Notes

I made it up to about 190 Iron in my game.

Would be kind of like the original Medieval: Total War.

Yes, you can choose to raze and then change your mind and annex. Or you can annex and then choose to raze. But, once you've made either of those choices, you can't decide to puppet. That is a problem. They implemented city viewing before razing/keeping in the last patch for BtS, why didn't they...

Awesome. Thank you for finding this and posting.

I got the deluxe edition too. I heard a rumor pre-release that the digital deluxe edition would also include digital images of the 174 (or whatever) page art book in the physical collector's edition too. I'm guessing it was just a rumor, but thought I'd ask if anyone knew something about this. I...

The worst thing is they will settle right in you territory. And then there'll be an iron resource just between both of your borders. Scared that they'll get it, you'll purchase the tile right away (I did this even more than normal, I'm America). Then they get mad at you for encroaching on their...

Those are basically the exact same as my impressions

I normally win on Monarch in BtS with Better AI mod. I started my first Civ 5 game on Prince as America, normal map and standard settings. I took it fairly easy, not too seriously thinking out my decisions. By the medieval era, I found myself with double the score of the other 3 civs on my...

It was awesome.
